    Dreadful speed. measured over several weeks and only got 3.5 mbs instead of promised 11mbs. Drops out quite often. Customer Services open a ticket when you report it but do nothing and do not reply. Absolutely dreadful. Avoid at all costs.

    I am totally disappointed with this service at the time I terminated my contract, I sent the email requesting to terminate on the contract end date and received an automated response. I then went on with another service provider. Received email asking to pay £29 two weeks later and customer services said they didn’t receive the email. Therefore have to bill me till mid September. I then asked to speak to a manager and was told to send the original email again and they will produce the final bill backdating from the when I gave the notice. So the final bill would be for few days charges.Two weeks later I’m being chased again asking to pay £29 outstanding bill, once again spent my Saturday dealing with the customer service and sorted the final bill for £3 and even paid it off, I specifically told that I don’t want to receive any more phone calls and couple of hours later again I’m receiving a call asking me to pay £29. I again wasted my time trying to call and told to ignore the call, really nasty experience and I will never use this service again or recommend it to anyone.

    I don't even know where to start. We previously had to upgrade as the original deal we were on was absolutely useless and so slow. We then moved house and organised to have our internet transferred over. Supposed to be an easy switch. The day it was supposed to come on and it never did. We had no internet (whilst we're all WFH) for almost two weeks. During that time, they would tell us an engineer was coming on x day, we would wait all day for them and they would never show. We would call and they would just say oh sorry, it was never guaranteed, he's coming tomorrow. That happened three times. They sent a guy who came for 5 mins and said he couldn't do anything and we would need someone else. Eventually a lovely engineer came, said that clearly the guy sent before hadn't tried even the most basic tests. He was brilliant and was the one amazing part of this. Got our internet back up and running. Then, as well as not offering a refund for the time without internet, we have now been charged for £12 worth of phonecalls despite not having a home phone (which the engineer could confirm). We told them it must have been the engineer who was testing the line and they said 'yes, we can see on our system that the calls were to our engineering department'. However, they will not remove the charges and they have told us that we need to BUY a phone to check. SO RIDICULOUS!

    I’m not one to ever leave reviews neither good or bad ever as I just simply do not find the time but post office have left me with a lot of time to right this one and they do deserve it.

    So I live in a student house share with my friend and the agency told us to order which Wi-Fi we want (didn’t really want Post Office anyway was just the only one with a 12 month contract). We ordered this in the middle of July OVER THE PHONE as we were told it would be approved much faster this way and that we would have it a few days earlier than we would if we did the application online. However, this hasn’t been the case. On the phone we were told that we would receive our box around July 28th-30th which we did and that the to live date would be August 5th. We were on holiday from August 1st-8th and we came back to Wi-Fi but it wasn’t the one we ordered (fibre) they gave us the standard. We received an email from them saying that the engineer couldn’t hook up the fibre broadband and that they’ve compensated us in the meantime with the basic standard which we thought was okay but they didn’t give us a reschedule date.

    Only 6 days after being back on Friday the 14th the basic standard Wi-Fi stopped working so we rang up to ask what was wrong and it turns out they sent an engineer out to sort the fibre broadband out for us but instead again couldn’t and also disconnected the basic standard by mistake, we immediately asked when could somebody come and fix this as we have student needing to do work and others working from home during the global pandemic but they wouldn’t give an answer they said they would call on the 19th with an update. This was our “compensation” from them and they took it away from us and still to this day haven’t sent someone back just to reconnect one line. On the 19th they called and said they had no update so I argued with them on the phone as by this point a member of the household had lost their job due to not being able to provide their work to their boss. They rang us again later that day only then to say they can book an engineer out for 26th-28th and asked if we would prefer morning or afternoon slots and we said afternoon.

    Yesterday the 20th they left us a voicemail to say they will be coming tomorrow Friday 21st (today) between 8am and 1pm which IS THE MORNING SLOT so at last minute some of us have moved our schedules around to ensure we are in as they need access to the property BUT THEY NEVER SHOWED UP! The account holder has rang up to ask what is going on and a member of the household has been sat on the sofa from 8am-1pm staring at the walls due to not being able to at least watch Netflix (we have no signal in the house so can’t even watch live TV either or go on our phones which Post Office know this) and wasted their time and rescheduled a job interview due to loosing previous job as not being able to provide work for their boss! It’s outrageous. The man on the phone has come back to say they need to reschedule for Monday yet it was them that rescheduled only late last night and haven’t even had the decency to let us know that he won’t be coming today.

    Worst part of it all is that we have letters and emails saying the go live date is the 5th of August and it will also be recorded from the voice call and they are trying to lie and say that it intact isn’t until almost 2 weeks after!

    Every time we have called it’s been very poor customer service, sometimes they don’t say anything probably because they know they are in the wrong and don’t know what to say.

    I understand it’s a global pandemic but the way they have dealt with the situation has been extremely poor, if they dealt with it better I would have understood. They’re excuse was that we are not priority which is damn right rude to say to their PAYING customers.

    Never again will I go with Postoffice nor do I recommend them to anyone especially if you are in Birmingham.

    Post office broadband is a nightmare. Never ever again sign with them. The speed is even slowly like snail. Interrupting all the time, phone them to sort it out , they always said will send engineer out to help, but promise never come true, never ever got someone to fix it ,we waited at home for two days within appointment time, but it really disappointed. They have never ever come without give us any notice.
